Ten thousand years is just a drop in time
And our time on earth is just a flash of light
In an endless, empty void
Inside that flash a tiny universe
A million thoughts and dreams
That scream in hopes of truly being heard
Inside that scream there hides a single word
We can't define just what it means
But we still say it anyway
If you could hear me then I'd say to you
"I think I love you"
And once I say it all the rest just melts away
And the world's a ship among a sea of stars
Ten thousand stars for every grain of sand
That's found upon the earth
And our little eyes just see the tip of this
And that tip is more than we can count
Our minds were built for smaller things
Our time on earth is just a stepping stone
Along a path we didn't build
Into a place we'll never know
If I could share this piece of path with you
Then that's enough for me
And the rest can do whatever it will do
You are, to me, a private universe
It's taken thirty-six trillion cells
To make the shape that I call you
And when those cells go back into the earth
They'll spread themselves
Into the wind, the rain, the skies, the trees, the dirt
So if you go before me I will know
Some part of you could be in anything
I'd find along the way
And if I'm the one who goes before you
Then I, too, could be in anything
So just remember what I'd say
